By Rami Amichai Reuters November 24, 2016 - By Rami Amichai
HAIFA, Israel (Reuters) - Wildfires tore across central and northern
Israel on Thursday, forcing tens of thousands of residents to
flee the city of Haifa, as leaders blamed arsonists for some
of the blazes and branded them terrorists.
Television pictures showed a wall of flames raging through central
neighborhoods of Israel's third largest city. Firefighters dowsed
a petrol station with water as the blaze edged closer.
The fires have been burning in multiple locations for the past
three days but intensified on Thursday, fueled by unseasonably
dry weather and strong easterly winds. "Every fire that
was caused by arson, or incitement to arson, is terrorism by
all accounts. And we will treat it as such," Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters gathered in Haifa. "Whoever
tries to burn parts of Israel will be punished for it severely."
Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan referred to "arson
terrorism" and said there had been a small number of arrests,
providing no other details. On social media, some Arabs and Palestinians
celebrated the fires and the hashtag #Israelisburning was trending
on Twitter. "It's likely that where it was arson, it goes
in the direction of nationalistic," Police Chief Roni Alsheich
told reporters, without going into further detail.
With fires burning in the forests west of Jerusalem, around Haifa,
on central and northern hilltops and in parts of the Israeli-occupied
West Bank, the government sought assistance from neighboring
countries to tackle the conflagration.
Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Turkey and Russia offered help, with
several aircraft already joining efforts to quell the blaze,
dropping fire-retardant material to try to douse the heaviest
fires and stem their spread. https://www.yahoo.com/news/wild-fires-plague-israel-minister-says-half-arson-101257799.html

RABBI PREDICTS TRUMP WILL WIN AND USHER IN THE SECOND COMING
November 4, 2016 - Bob Eschliman - In two separate sets of Bible
codes, published three months apart, international Bible codes
expert Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson shows evidence he has found
that declares Donald J. Trump will win next week's presidential
election. Trump's victory, Glazerson said, is directly connected
to his support for Israel.
The first table was published in July, the second just last week.
He found "Donald" in Hebrew next to the Hebrew word
for president. He also found a abbreviation for the Hebrew words
for United States.
Glazerson also found codes that point to both Nov. 8 and Nov.
9, the date of the election and the first day Trump would be
president-elect, if he wins. The rabbi quotes the book of Isaiah
and the story of Cyrus, which has been frequently referenced
by evangelical faith leaders who have supported the Republican
presidential nominee.
The codes also reference the Hebrew words for "chosen"
or "elected" and "love for Israel." Trump
has made it clear he has a deep love for Israel and would protect
it, if elected next week.
Glazerson also found a connection between Trump and the word
"moshiach" (messiah), which in Hebrew means "anointed,"
saying his election would be connected to the arrival of Messiah.
Many Christians have felt the day of the Second Coming is fast
approaching, and the rabbi's findings may be further evidence.
The first set of codes (above) were found in the book of Deuteronomy.
The second, identical, set (below) were found in the book of
Numbers.

Friday Church News Notes, November 25, 2016, David Cloud
- A group of leading rabbis in Israel have sent a letter to Russian
President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump
urging them to work together to rebuild the Third Temple in Jerusalem
("Rabbis Urge Trump, Putin," Israel Today, Nov. 15,
2016). Rabbi Hillel Weiss, a spokesman for the Sanhedrin, said
Israel "is poised to rebuild the Temple." He likened
this present time to that of 2,500 years ago when Cyrus of Persia
helped build the Second Temple. In truth, the Third Temple will
be built during the early reign of the Antichrist. Revelation
11 describes the measuring of the Temple when the Two Witnesses
preach in Jerusalem to proclaim Christ's soon-coming kingdom.
This is the first half of Daniel's 70th Week (Dan. 9:24-27).
The Antichrist will come on the scene with his unprecedented
peace program and will make it possible for the Temple to be
built. It will be occupied by the Antichrist half way through
Daniel's 70th Week when he proclaims himself as God. Christ said
the Antichrist will stand in the holy place, referring to the
rebuilt Temple (Matthew 24:15). Paul prophesied that the Antichrist
will sit "in the temple of God, shewing himself that he
is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:4). http://www.wayoflife.org

General Assembly Plenary General Assembly -Plenary
Seventy-first Session, 50th Meeting (AM)
GA/11861 November 30, 2016 - Seventy-first Session, 50th Meeting
(AM)
Urging Concerted Action to Revive Peace Talks, General Assembly
Adopts Six Resolutions on Question of Palestine, Situation in
Middle East
The General Assembly today adopted six resolutions on Palestinian
and Middle East issues, ranging from Jerusalem to the United
Nations special information programme on the question of Palestine.
The Assembly adopted a resolution on the peaceful settlement
of the question of Palestine (document A/71/L.21) by a recorded
vote of 153 in favour to 7 against (Canada, Federated States
of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, United
States), with 7 abstentions (Australia, Cameroon, Honduras, Papua
New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, Vanuatu). By the terms of the resolution,
the Assembly called for the intensification of efforts by the
parties, including through negotiations, with the support of
the international community, towards the conclusion of a final
peace settlement.

The Assembly also adopted a resolution on Jerusalem (document
A/71/L.22) by a recorded vote of 149 in favour to 7 against (Canada,
Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Nauru,
Palau, United States), with 8 abstentions (Australia, Cameroon,
Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Vanuatu).
By its terms, the Assembly reiterated its determination that
any actions taken by Israel, the occupying Power, to impose its
laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Holy City of Jerusalem
were illegal and therefore null and void and had no validity
whatsoever, and called upon Israel to immediately cease all such
illegal and unilateral measures. The Assembly also stressed
that a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the question
of the City of Jerusalem should take into account the legitimate
concerns of both the Palestinian and Israeli sides.

By the terms of a resolution on the Syrian Golan (document
A/71/L.8), the Assembly demanded that Israel withdraw from all
the occupied territory to the line of 4 June 1967 and called
on all parties concerned to exert the necessary efforts to ensure
the resumption of the peace process. That resolution received
103 in favour to 6 against (Canada, Federated States of Micronesia,
Israel, Marshall Islands, Palau, United States), with 56 abstentions.
In adopting a resolution on the Special Information Programme
on the Question of Palestine of the Department of Public Information
of the Secretariat (document A/71/L.20), the Assembly renewed
the Departments mandate. It also requested the Department
to disseminate information on all activities relating to the
question of Palestine and peace efforts and to organize and promote
fact-finding news missions for journalists to the Occupied Palestinian
Territories, including East Jerusalem, and Israel. That text
garnered 153 votes in favour to 7 against (Australia, Canada,
Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Palau,
United States), with 7 abstentions (Cameroon, Honduras, Nauru,
Paraguay, Togo, Tonga, Vanuatu).

The Assembly also adopted a resolution on the Committee on
the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
(A/71/L.18), as orally revised, by a recorded vote of 100 in
favour to 9 against (Australia, Canada, Federated States of Micronesia,
Guatemala, Israel, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, United States),
with 55 abstentions, and a resolution on the Division for Palestinian
Rights of the Secretariat (document A/71/L.19), with 98 in favour
to 9 against (Australia, Canada, Federated States of Micronesia,
Guatemala, Israel, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, United States),
with 57 abstentions.

The Permanent Observer of Palestine said the adoption of
the six resolutions by an overwhelming majority of United Nations
Member States was a reflection of the longstanding international
consensus in favour of achieving a just, lasting and peaceful
solution to the question of Palestine. It was also a clear reaffirmation
of the international communitys consensus on the two-State
solution, which was now in grave peril due to Israels actions.
The despair and hopelessness of the Palestinian people was increasing
as the fiftieth year of the illegal Israeli occupation approached,
he said.

The representative of Israel said the resolutions had not
only failed to promote dialogue or build trust, they had also
created an organizational infrastructure that had abused funding
to allow anti-Israel activities to take place under the auspices
of the United Nations. Supporting the resolutions and the inherent
bias against Israel would not advance the cause of peace, but
instead make peace harder to achieve. The Special Information
Programme on the Question of Palestine offered a misleading narrative
of the region and circulated prejudiced materials under the banner
of the United Nations, undermining the Organizations integrity
and impartiality. It was baffling how the United Nations, which
continued to face a severe budgetary deficit, had spent approximately
$6.5 million a year on bodies that were dedicated solely to promoting
the Palestinian narrative, she said. http://www.un.org/press/en/2016/ga11861.doc.htm

ONLY FEW PEOPLE FROM EITHER PARTY EXPECTED DONALD TRUMP TO BE
ELECTED

Baruch Stein - The writer has a BA in Political Science from
Penn State University, with minors in Middle Eastern Studies
and Jewish Studies. He has been living in Jerusalem for more
than six years.
Few people from either party expected Donald Trump to be elected,
but the presidential transition is already well underway, and
Barack Obama seems to have digested the situation and gotten
over the shock.

Regardless of any criticism of his performance or the reforms,
policies, and doctrine that have characterized his presidency,
and regardless of any adjustments that Hillary Clinton might
have made, until the outcome was final Obama could have expected
that a Clinton presidency would, on the whole, continue along
in the same general direction that he has taken the country and
world. Until the outcome was final Obama might have even hoped
that Clinton would inherit a Democratic majority in the Senate.

Prior to election night, fears of a lame duck Hail Mary directed
at Israel may have been somewhat alleviated by statements from
the Obama administration, but prior to election night, there
was little reason to expect Trump to win.
This might be a good time for a Democrat to panic. For a Democratic
president facing the imminent inauguration of a Republican president,
and a Republican Congress, and the installation of cabinet secretaries
and ambassadors (say to the UN, and to Israel) who will hold
radically different views of the world, there is little to do
other than sit and prepare to watch everything you have built
and everything you believe in crumble, especially when the current
Congress is already controlled by Republicans.

There is not much that can be done to preserve Obamacare.
Merrick Garlands hopes have been dashed. It is only a matter
of time before Americas immigration policies are rewritten.

What does Obama have left in this world? He has a gripe with
the Prime Minister of Israel, and a UN determined to embarrass
Israel in every possible way. He has a France bent on taking
credit for creating a Palestinian state, backed in the effort
by Europe, the Arab world, and others. He has a Secretary of
State who has not yet gotten a Nobel Prize, an activist UN ambassador
itching to reorder the world as she sees fit, a legacy of failure
in Syria, Ukraine, and, many believe, Iran.
Palestinian statehood was not a major objective for Clinton.
It is something she believes in, but when Arafat walked away
from Camp David in 2000 the Clintons lost confidence in the Middle
East.

Prior to election night, fears of a lame duck Hail Mary directed
at Israel may have been somewhat alleviated by statements from
the Obama administration, but prior to election night, there
was little reason to expect Trump to win.

A Clinton presidency would have at least preserved the concept
of Palestinian statehood. And now?http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/19808

'HE KNOWS THE REGION,

Trump suggests son-in-law Kushner could help broker peace. In
meeting with New York Times staff, president-elect says he would
love to resolve Israeli-Palestinian conflict

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he would love
to clinch a deal to end the intractable conflict between Israel
and the Palestinians, despite the checkered history of US attempts
to broker a Middle East peace agreement.

I would love to be the one who made peace with Israel
and the Palestinians, that would be such a great achievement,
Trump said in a meeting with staffers from The New York Times.
Because nobodys been able to do it, he said.

Trump added that though really great people have
told him it is impossible to make peace between Israel
and the Palestinians, I disagree, I think you can make
peace. I think people are tired now of being shot, killed. At
some point, when do they come? I think we can do that. I have
reason to believe I can do that.

A New York Times reporter tweeted that Trump also suggested
that his son-in-law Jared Kushner could help broker the deal.
US-brokered talks between Israel and the Palestinians, led by
US Secretary of State John Kerry, ended in failure two and a
half years ago. Asked whether Kushner can be part
of the peacemaking effort, Trump said: Well, I think hed
be very good at it. I mean he knows it so well. He knows the
region, knows the people, knows the players. http://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-would-love-to-broker-peace-between-palestinians-israel/

PRESIDENT-ELECT WILL RELOCATE EMBASSY FROM TEL AVIV. 'HE'S A
MAN WHO KEEPS HIS WORD'

Trump adviser: He doesnt see settlements as peace obstacle.
Jason Greenblatt says president-elect wont force Israel,
Palestinians to negotiate; will move US embassy to Jerusalem
By Stuart Winer - November 10, 2016 - President-elect Donald
Trumps top adviser on Israel said Thursday that the incoming
US leader doesnt see Jewish settlements in the West Bank
as obstacle to peace with the Palestinians, and predicted Trump
would keep his campaign promise to move the US embassy to Jerusalem
- essentially recognizing the holy city as Israels capital.

Successive US administrations have maintained that Israeli
settlements in the West Bank are illegal and their presence and
continued expansion are major stumbling blocks in the path to
reaching a peace agreement.

But Trump, Jason Greenblatt told Army Radio, believes Israelis
and Palestinians should resolve their differences without the
world imposing a peace plan on them.

Mr. Trump does not view the settlements as an obstacle
to peace. I think he would show Gaza as proof of that,
Greenblatt said, referring to Israels 2005 unilateral withdrawal
from the Gaza Strip, which included the removal of all Jewish
settlements from the coastal enclave.http://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-adviser-he-doesnt-see-settlements-as-peace-obstacle/

MIKE HUCKABEE SAID TO BE U.S. ENVOY TO ISRAEL, TASKED WITH MOVING
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM

Ex-Arkansas governor meets Trump; transition source says
Huckabee, a bitter opponent of Palestinian nationalism, is
going to see through embassy relocation
By Times of Israel staff and Stuart Winer November 18, 2016 -
November 24, 2016 Heshvan 23, 5777 - President-elect Donald Trump
is reportedly sending former Arkansas governor and failed Republican
presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to be his ambassador to
Israel, where Huckabee will be charged with overseeing the relocation
of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Britains Daily Mail on Friday quoted an unnamed source
in the Trump transition team confirming both the appointment
and that the embassy move would be a first item of business for
ambassador Huckabee. Thats going to happen,
the transition source said. Governor Huckabee is going
to see it through. Huckabee met with Trump on Friday at
Trump Tower in New York City, but did not comment on the rumors
of his posting to Israel, and there was no official confirmation
from the Trump team. Im just here for the Starbucks,
Huckabee quipped before going into his meetings. http://www.timesofisrael.com/mike-huckabee-said-set-to-be-us-envoy-to-israel-tasked-with-moving-embassy-to-jerusalem/

Jewish state; appointment makes her first woman in top post in
new administration
By AP and Times of Israel staff November 23, 2016
WASHINGTON  President-elect Donald Trump has chosen South
Carolinas pro-Israel governor Nikki Haley as US ambassador
to the United Nations. nikky haley.jpg

Haley has accepted the cabinet-level position, becoming the
first woman tapped for a top-level administration post during
his White House transition so far.

Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing
people together regardless of background or party affiliation
to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state
and our country, Trump said in a release Wednesday. She
is also a proven deal-maker, and we look to be making plenty
of deals. She will be a great leader representing us on the world
stage.

Last year, Haley brought in state-wide legislation that targets
those supporting a boycott of Israel. Although the law does not
mention Israel by name, it does state that public bodies may
not enter into a contract with a business unless the contract
includes a representation that the business is not currently
engaged in, and an agreement that the business will not engage
in, the boycott of a person or an entity based in or doing business
with a jurisdiction with whom South Carolina can enjoy open trade.

PA: WE'LL MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR TRUMP IF HE MOVES EMBASSY
PA's UN envoy says the PA will act at the UN if President-elect
follows through on his promise to move the American Embassy to
Jerusalem.
Elad Benari, November 13, 2016 - If President-elect Donald Trump
follows through on his promise to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem,
the Palestinian Arabs will make life miserable for
the United States at the United Nations, the Palestinian Authoritys
ambassador to the United Nations is threatening.

If people attack us by moving the embassy to Jerusalem,
which is a violation of Security Council resolutions, it is a
violation of resolution 181 of the UN general assembly that was
drafted by the U.S. it means they are showing belligerency
towards us If they do that nobody should blame us for
unleashing all of the weapons that we have in the UN to defend
ourselves and we have a lot of weapons in the UN, the envoy,
Riyad Mansour, said on Friday, according to Haaretz.

Mansour said that the Palestinian Authority response to a
move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem could not be a Security
Council resolution because the United States would veto it.

Maybe I can't have resolutions in the Security Council
but I can make their lives miserable every day with precipitating
a veto on my admission as a member state. Italy in 1949 received
3 consecutive vetoes on its admission to the UN from the Soviet
Union. These are the kind of things that I can do, he threatened.

KISSINGER: TO PREVENT REGIONAL
EXPLOSION, US MUST THWART IRANIAN EXPANSIONISM

Barney Breen-Portnoy - November 11, 2016
The biggest challenge facing the Middle East is the potential
domination of the region by an Iran that is both imperial and
jihadist, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
said at a New York City gathering on Thursday.

[America must] make it clear that we are opposed to
a further territorial expansion of Iran and what we are asking
of the Iranians is to act like a nation, and not like crusaders,
Kissinger stated in remarks made at the America-Israel Friendship
Leagues 2016 Partners for Democracy Awards Dinner, where
the 93-year-old statesman was the guest of honor. What
we have to see to is that Iran does not achieve such a dominant
position that the whole region explodes. Referring to the
results of Tuesdays presidential election, Kissinger described
Republican Donald Trumps poll-defying victory over Democrat
Hillary Clinton a revolution against conventional wisdom.https://www.algemeiner.com/2016/11/11/kissinger-to-prevent-regional-explosion-us-must-thwart-iranian-expansionism/

IRAN EXPERT: ISLAMIC REPUBLIC FEARS IT COULD BE THE 'BIG LOSER'
FROM TRUMP'S VICTORY

Barney Breen-Portnoy - Iran fears it could be the big
loser from Donald Trumps surprising victory over
Hillary Clinton in Tuesdays presidential election, an expert
on the Islamic Republic told The Algemeiner on Thursday.

I think the reactions weve seen from Iran - the
urging of Trump to maintain the nuclear deal, the warning that
he cant roll it back - suggest that theyre worried
about the fact that existing US policy, which is very favorable
to Iran, could change pretty substantially over the course of
the next several months, Ilan Berman - of the Washington,
DC-based conservative think tank the American Foreign Policy
Council - said.

Looking ahead at what Trumps Iran policy might be,
Berman noted, You need to figure out whats going
to change and whats not going to change. Whats not
going to change, unfortunately, is the nuclear deal itself, because
even though Trump has talked a lot about renegotiating or rolling
back the deal, the reality is that the lions share of the
benefits from the deal have already been conferred to Iran. Also,
the deal is multilateral, so even if the US walks away, it doesnt
mean that our partners in the P5+1 will do so as well.

So if the deal is going to be with us in some fashion for
some time, Berman continued, we have to be thinking
seriously about what comes next. And what comes next, hopefully,
is a strategy that pushes back against a rising Iran regionally.
This will require military resources, political will and, frankly,
a more forward stance on responding to Iranian proxies like Hezbollah.

FIRST PUBLIC PRAYER FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP HELD IN JERUSALEM
By Tsivya Fox - November 9, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo6FmN96Km8

-----

RABBI TULY WEISZ, DIRECTOR OF ISRAEL365 AND PUBLISHER OF
BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS OFFERED THE FIRST PUBLIC PRAYER FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT
DONALD TRUMP IN JERUSALEM AT THE BRIDGES FOR PEACE SOLIDARITY
CONFERENCE

And He changeth the times and the seasons; He removeth
kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom unto the wise,
and knowledge to them that know understanding. Daniel 2:21
(The Israel Bible)

Rabbi Weisz spoke at the Bridges for Peace gathering in Jerusalem.
Entering the hall, he was informed that Donald Trump had just
been elected President of the United States.

Following the contentious campaign which left many wondering
what had become of the democratic process in America, it was
clear that the diverse group of over 100 mostly Christian participants
from eight nations, were anxiously waiting words of clarity from
Rabbi Weisz.

With UNESCOs recent endorsement that Jews and Christians
have no connection to the Temple Mount and continued negative
reports about the Holy Land, the event was called Encountering
the Truth About Israel: 40 Year Celebration of the Dispatch From
Jerusalem. http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/78321/first-public-prayer-president-trump-held-jerusalem-watch/
